“The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory” – Isaiah 60:19
Embracing God’s Transformative Power
This year, the feast conference Visayas celebrates with the theme “Let there be light” emphasizing the importance of light and God in everyone’s life. Bro. Stephen Nellas talked about overcoming darkness– how each one should learn to accept the light of God into their lives.
“Let God enter your mess.”
This was one of the striking messages of Catholic preacher and best-selling author, Bro. Bo Sanchez. Sanchez gave importance to God’s transformative power. In his talk, he highlighted that God is present even in the darkest times. Slow progress, struggles, and painful processes, and difficult paths are all parts of everyone’s lives and are essential steps to seasons of harvest. He also added that God creates purpose in the process and that we should trust Him that He is creating a masterpiece in us.
The event concluded with a Holy Mass celebrated by Msgr. Renato Beltran and co-celebrated by Father Samuel Leidel, CSJ, followed by a spirit-filled closing worship that left the attendees energized and uplifted.
The Feast Conference Visayas next year will be bigger, featuring classes and talks to foster deeper fellowship among the attendees in the region. It will be a two-day gathering on November 29-30, 2025, with the theme “Together” at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.
